Ugliest Component of the Year 2024!

@otherworld74 I'm not as offended by Wadax - seems like at least there is a method to the madness

Wadax are reported to sound amazing - state of the art. It just doesn’t do it for me.

@macg19 I don’t know, I kind of like the red powder coat, features, construction, and warranty of the Rogers products; although I will admit that the layout of some of the units is a bit of a head-scratcher. Tubes are open, but the transformers are caged? Must be the way they do it in outer space. Had never heard of the company before.

@otherworld74 I think you’ve definitely got a winner there. You’ve got my vote on the entries thus far. 

@oldrooney I owned an EHF-200. They are not pretty up close. The whole space/mil build thing is just marketing and the sound is meh and the "transferrable lifetime warranty" is BS. The unit has to go back to Roger to be "re-certified for $500-$750 + 2 way shipping."

It’s just a ploy to make your buyer contact Roger and then he’ll sell one of his "used/demo" units at less than your asking price and way less hassle.

I traded mine in at TMR (bless them for taking it off my hands) and the transformer was barley attached with a bolt that was too short - they fixed it for resale and had to take the unit apart to do so.

@lalitk Good topic...we should call out the bad and ugly as well as the good.
